The TYs have planted potatoes and onions during their horticulture class and these should be ready by May. They've also built some teepees for beans and peas outside.
The green committee have "bean" helping too with indoor pea frames and carrots and salad planted as well as wildflowers to encourage pollinators. We also had our first mini harvest of purple sprouting broccoli!
More to come soon!!

The TY Horticulture class were out in the Autumn sunshine planting Spring bulbs using the chaos planting method. This is when a multitude of different spring bulbs (Hyacinths, Daffodils, Tulips, Crocuses, Narcissi) are mixed together and randomly planted so that we have a mixture of flowers and patterns emerging in the spring. It mimics nature and so is more enticing to pollinators and native insects that need the food in Spring.
